4-Micro Grant Confidential Information Form.docx

This is a Confidential Information Form for the Delaware Opioid Abatement Community Grant Program, specifically the Micro Grant component (Round 4, 2026), administered by the State of Delaware's Department of Substance Abuse and Mental Health. The form is designed to accompany grant applications and allows applicants to declare whether their submission contains confidential or proprietary information protected under Delaware's Freedom of Information Act (29 Del. C. Ch. 100). Applicants must select one of two options: certifying that no confidential information is included in their application, or asserting that specific portions contain confidential commercial, financial, or proprietary information exempt from public disclosure. For applicants claiming confidentiality, the form requires precise identification of the confidential sections, question numbers, or attached documents, along with brief justifications for each confidentiality claim, with additional documentation permitted as needed.

The Micro Grant program offers targeted funding of up to $10,000 to legal entities operating in Delaware, structured as a rapid-response mechanism within the broader Community Grant Program to address the state's opioid crisis. The program prioritizes accessibility and simplified administration, with no prior operational history requirement, making it suitable for emerging grassroots organizations, neighborhood coalitions, and larger entities seeking supplemental funding. Eligible applicants must be formally registered and legally incorporated entities (nonprofits, for-profits, or governmental organizations) operating in Delaware with transparent governance structures and verified leadership expertise relevant to proposed programs. For previous Commission grantees, past performance, contract fidelity, and compliance with prior grant requirements are heavily weighted in the eligibility and evaluation process. The form operates under Delaware's Freedom of Information Act framework, requiring applicants to proactively identify any confidential materials to prevent automatic public disclosure of sensitive information.
